5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection of Short Character Examinations
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019
Verified Purchase
This issue was pretty much all short stories, the vast majority of which were character examinations of Batman. I loved pretty much everything about this issue, but my favorites were "The Precedent" (about Dick Grayson being the first Robin and how he can/will be different than Batman with proper guidance), "Heretic" (about the League of Shadows member who was killed for running an underground railroad for people trying to leave the organization), "The Batman's Design" (about the pre-planning that goes into the big showdowns and deliberately creating the mythos of the Bat), and "Manufacture for Use" (where Batman deliberately hunts down the gun that was used to murder his parents and puts it to more appropriate use). An honorable mention goes to "The Legend of Knute Brody," which I thought was absolutely hysterical. When it's easier for the batclan to sabotage the villains rather than fight them outright, why not? So they created 'the worst henchmen in Gotham' and this is all stories of how 'he' has ruined the plans of various villains (not that they realize it's a bat, just in a different mask). This is an excellent collection, and I'm happy to have purchased it. It is something that I would recommend or gift to someone.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Was So Afraid This Wouldn’t Live Up to It’s Own Legend. Thankfully, I Was Wrong
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020
Verified Purchase
This was a lot of fun, and an excellent exploration of Batman’s character by a group of very talented writers and artists. There’s a lot of stories in this anthology, so they’re all fairly short, but only a few of them suffer for it. The order doesn’t make a lot of sense, though, constantly jumping back and forth chronologically. Let me just go over each one and give my general, non-spoiler thoughts on them.
Batman’s Longest Case: A good intro to the collection. The story itself has a good opening with Batman investigating a mystery dating back to his earliest adventures (love the Easter Egg reference to Detective Comics No. 27), but the ending felt like it came too soon. Still, if this is canon, it sets up a welcome new element to Batman’s mythos and the DC Universe as a whole.
Manufacture for Use: Very strong emotional core with good accompanying art, made stronger on a second read through (pay attention to how everyone attacks Batman’s logo).
The Legend of Knute Brody: Lighthearted and fun. Recommend it to anyone who thinks Batman has no sense of humor.
The Batman’s Design: Batman lures a gang of terrorists into a warehouse he’s booby-trapped the heck out of. Normally, I’m a critic of the “Batman is Prepared for Everything” mentality, but this works, because everything feels reasonable for the character. Still, the best part is the psychological confrontation at the end with the enemy leader. Very good.
Return to Crime Alley: Another one that suffers from being too short. It feels like it ends at the climax, and nothing is resolved. Sad, since it had a lot of potential, dealing with some interesting themes and character dynamics.
Heretic: Has nothing to do with the Damian clone. This is honestly the weakest story, I think. Nothing is resolved, expect Batman threatens some bad guys who will probably ignore him and keep doing what they’re doing. Again, good idea, bad execution.
I Know: Set farthest in the future, the last confrontation between Penguin and Batman. Great central idea. Good emotional and plot buildup. The ending is a little unclear. Is Penguin trying to kill Batman, or did he get tased for no reason?
The Last Crime in Gotham: Might be my favorite. Short but sweet, as the name implies it covers Batman’s final adventure many years in the future, offering an optimistic view of the future of Gotham and Batman. The twist at the end is a little annoying, but it works thematically. Otherwise, feels like how Batman’s story should end.
The Precedent: Another good one. Bruce debates with Alfred the consequences of making Dick Grayson Robin. Very strong emotions here, and it shows the best of all three characters.
Batman’s Greatest Case: Actually feels like a sequel to the last one. Once more we have a strong emotional core and central idea, but this time with almost the entire Batman family—minus a few fence-sitters like Harper Lane, Clayface, and Man-Bat (But with Huntress for some reason; maybe it was the Helena Wayne version). Another favorite.
Medieval: Not so much a story as it is a teaser for the new Arkham Knight, and it works that way. Sets up why the character hates Batman, and it’s an interesting new idea—one that feels appropriate for a celebration of 80 years of Batman.
Table for Two: Also good, but this one is more of a downer. It’s an exploration of Bruce Wayne’s burden of loneliness and loss. Again, sad but well done.
Through the Keyhole: Features a heroic version of Anarky. Not a bad story, but I wish the guest-star had gotten more to do at the climax. Doesn’t feel appropriate for the ending (yes, I know it was added to the deluxe edition, but it would have been better to insert these two in the middle. Then, at least we could have gotten the bookend of “Batman’s __ Case” and the epilogue of The Arkham Knight, which were both very strong).
The variant covers and pinups are all excellent, too. Very good Batman art.

This is an Awesome anniversary issues. This is one going to be the measuring stick for all other anniversary issues for me.

The book contains 13 short stories. Each worked on by a different Bat writing and Bat artistic team. Usually it is difficult to rate a book of short stories as I might like one and not a couple of others. I think this is the first time I have liked every single one.

On top of the bonus Pinup pages the book contains covering gallery that contains full page spreads of all the varient covers. This is must have for all Batfans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Para los coleccionistas, esta tal vez sea la mejor versión
Reviewed in Mexico on July 11, 2019
Verified Purchase
Esta es la edición de lujo (importada, por lo cual viene en Inglés) del número conmemorativo de Detective Comics 1,000.

Es básicamente una versión en pasta dura que además incluye dos historias adicionales a las de la edición normal.

La edición en pasta blanda fué lanzada con una cantidad considerable de portadas variantes a cargo de diferentes artistas (Frank Miller, Tim Sale, Kelley Jones y un largo etcétera) Para los coleccionistas, esta tal vez sea la mejor versión ya que incluye al final una galería que incluye dichas portadas variantes. Esto último fué factor determinante en mi decisión de comprar esta versión y no otras.

Sobre el contenido se trata de historias cortas a cargo de diferentes equipos de artistas (mi favorita fué la escrita por Kevin Smith y dibujada por Jim Lee) Las historias exploran el mito del murciélago desde diversos ángulos pasando por historias que refieren a la clásica serie animada, hasta historias más oscuras que analizan desde la perspectiva de Lee Thompkins, el trauma que orilla a Bruce a hacer lo que hace noche tras noche.

Imperdible para todo fan de Batman.
